Your rewrite rules at the web server level are excluding files such as api.php, but MediaWiki doesn't know about that exclusion; it sees an incoming URL in the $wgArticlePath space and ends up thinking it has an article title that it needs to extract. Try setting $wgUsePathInfo = false in your LocalSettings.php. This should bypass these checks, and will avoid interfering with your input variables. Of course this requires that your rewrite rules in the web server are using the title query string parameter, not appending it to the path.
